 George Latimer is not going to lose to a Republican. He's going to win in November. That district's solidly Democrat. What's notable, however, is that despite being so solidly Democrat, it did not want a fringe member of the squad representing it. It actually wanted someone who could get something done for the district. At the end of the day, local politics still matters most. And Jamal Bowman forgot the lesson he deployed against Elliot Engel in 2020.
